CFC Stanbic and CFC Insurance are a success...

1. Don't discount the fierce competition these companies face when they come to Kenya...also

1. Kenyans have strong loyalty towards local companies

3. lack of research also plays a key role...what succeeds in SA doesn't mean it will automatically fly in Kenya...just the way Mpesa has failed in SA...

I have noticed change in tactics...instead of setting up green field operations they're now doing M&A...Kenya is losing jobs in the process....
